Iron Golem¶
A hand-sized iron golem that takes guarding you literally.
How to get it¶
Every time you feed a iron golem (1 in 50,000), or land the final blow on one in combat or with the Leaf Staff (1 in 5,000), you have a chance to earn this pet - wild, ranch, and Iron Golem Spawner animals all count. Earning it is broadcast server-wide, and it never rolls once you own it.
Care and feeding¶
Hunger runs from 100 to 0 over about four days. One food from the pool below is the pet's daily favorite (it rotates every day): favorites restore 40 hunger, everything else restores 15. Mood climbs while the pet stays well fed (hunger 60+) and slowly sinks when it is hungry; building a top mood takes real days of care, so feed it before it asks.

The perks¶
Its unique perk - Forge Heart: your out iron golem pet shortens its feeding chew from 3s down to 2s. It scales with the pet's mood while it follows you.
It also sweetens your kills: defeating iron golems with a weapon (the Leaf Staff and Leaf Axe do not count) has a chance to drop one bonus Iron Ingot, scaling with its happiness from a 10% floor up to guaranteed at 100% mood - wild animals and Iron Golem Spawner animals both count. See the Iron Golem page for everything the animal can give you.
